In total, almost $1 million in Women's Opportunity Awards are granted each year. This program assists women who serve as the primary breadwinners for their families and must enter the workforce or upgrade their employment status. This award enables women to offset any costs associated with their efforts to attain higher education or additional skills and training -- such as books, child care and car fare. |
